There were lots of exciting events including performances of plays. some comedy and students reading poetry, some of which they had written themselves. In total, about 100 students took part many of them helping backstage with scenery, costumes and lighting. The arrangements Events took place in the drama studio as well as in some classrooms. It was well advertised and most students from the college attended as well as their families and some local schoolchildren. Some students volunteered to do workshops with the children. These were very popular and went on all
Suggestions There are some changes we would make for «*, events. There were too many performances gol at the same time and this meant that some peo"? ° 0 had to miss things which they really wanted to Some of the poetry performances were less p 0 g°i *°' fhan the comedy so we would have more comed next time. We also need to have snacks on sale ía the children. Apart from that, everybody had a fantastic day.

For ages now l'd been looking for another job nearer to where l live because it costs me quite a lot to get to work on the train. My fíat is on the outskirts of the cíty and I work in the centre. I had an interview last week at a firm where a couple of my friends work but I wasn't that impressed, then todav my boss said he was going to give me a pay rise- So l'll stay there now even though I have quite a long journey every day. Speaker 2: I called on Anita. She looks really well and is obviously delighted. They haven't cjecided on a ñame yet but 'Sam' is the favourite at the rnoment That's what her husband's best friend is called, apparently. Anyway, he's beautiful and looks ¡usr, Ijke her. She wants us all to go round on Sunday to meet him properly and we can celébrate then. And they only moved to that flat recently so she's been very busy, what with the move and finishing her course to qualify as a lawyer. She hasn't got the results yet but l'm sure she did OK.
Speaker 3: I just bumped into my cousin Olivia. She's L finished her nursing course. She's going to work in a hospital in London as a midwife delivering bables. She I

Speaker 5: I decided to do another course rather than m go for that job I applied for. It'll mean l can start off at H a higher level if I have better qualiftcations. Anyway, l needed certain grades and I got what l wanted! I got • the results today so a few of us are going to have a I party tonight to celébrate. Most people did well.

Matt: Hallo and welcome to the programme. This morning we're going to discuss 'boomerang kids': adults that stay at home or return after university to \ live with their parents until they're in their mid-twenties or even their mid-thirties. And here to tell us about the results of a recent survey on this subject is Sadie Andrews.
f Sadie: Thanks, Matt. Yes. Well, the results show that the number of 18 to 24 year olds in Europe still living at 1 home has reached 67%, although that figure is much lower for countries in northern Europe - Sweden has. overtaken the UK and France as the country wjth the jewest 'boomerang kicjs' with only 46% of this agegroup still living at home. As you might expect, that W figure rises to over 90% for countries in southern K Europe such as Spaín and italy, where young people • have traditionally lived with their parents for longer. • And despite relatively low rents, there's little change B here because family relatipnships remain very strong. \ Matt: That's very interesting. And what about outside Europe? I Sadie: Yes. The survey also covered the United States I where the trend is also for people to live at home K longer, though here the reason given wasn't to do with \ people having to pay back huge student loans, as this is nothing new. 'Boomerang kids' here said there was [ np reason for them to leave home because they got I pn so well with their parents. Many people reported [ continuíng to live at home even after they got married. I So there's obviously less of a generation gap than f there used to be. Matt: I can see there are advantages. Having your mum t to do your washing and ironing, for example. Sadie: People interviewed for the survey didn't admít i to that - even if it were true - though I know my mum F wouldn't be prepared to do my washing and ironing. In fact, the ímpression I get ¡s that boomerang kíds are pretty responsible people. What they seem to appreciate most is that they're not spending vast sums of money on rent and other bilis so thev can put money aside for when they do leave. But of course, there are disadvantages. Interviewees report that having to tell their parents what time they'll be home or not being able to spend time at home with friends without first asking permission ¡s a frustratíng experience and i h e x c_omplain that a lot of parents still think of 'boomerang kids' as just kids.
Matt: Yes That must be difficult. What about the parents? What do they think? Sadie: On the whole, most don't seem to mind and are willing to help their adult children out wherever possible. Howevcr, in some cases parents find that just when they've reached the point in their I i ves when they have the time and the money to do whatever children's needs On the other hand, thare is evidence to show that having boomerang kids back at home does keep them young - they're more likely to be in touch with the latest ideas in fashíon and watch different TV programmes. And some parents say they feel iess tlred because there's more going on at home - maybe their children's fnends coming In and more people to talk to. Matt: Right. So, before we hear from the listeners, what advice would you gíve for families in this situation? Sadie: Well, obviously things are going to run more smoothly if everyone involved does their fair share, so it's a good idea to work out a fair contríbution for bilis and jobs such as shopping and washing-up However, feedback from the results of the survey suggests that deciding in advance how often they are going tp eat together, if at all, and at what time, will avoid rpsentment build'ng up on both sides. This causes mpre arguments than any other issue. Matt: Thanks, Sadie. Right, if you've got any comments to make, please cali...

Dr Reid; OK- Well. fire away! jake: VVéll. the first thing l'm not sure about is whether peopfe in general are sleeping less than in the past. tve read some reports on the Internet which give conñicting information. DrReid: ít's good to see you are checking your facts; the Internet can be unreliable. As you know, today the averaae person gets about seven and a half hours' sleeo every night. which is a bit less than the lecommended eight hours. However, wtthont tho_ mterference of electric [ight bulbs and alarm clry^-?_ peoole tisuaily sleep for nine hours and this was the_ rase up to the early part of the 20th century Jake: t thought so. And is it natural for peopte to just sleep at night lite most people do now? Dr Reid: tf aílowed to, we would sleep for two periods in the night and geí up and do things in the middle. We just don't do that now because of our workíng days. Abo, most peopíe have a tendency to feel sleepy after lunch but because of the way our days are structured, most of us just have a cup of ooffee and carry on, when we should ¡et ourselves have a nap —justfor half an hour at the most. But a consta nt need to nap is a sign that people aren't getting enough sleep at night, which is a probtem that seems to be getting worse. Jake: I've read that ít's a problem that affects teenagers in particular.

Dr Reid: That's correct. A lot of teenagers are getting far too littte sleep and there are concerns that this could have a serious long-term impact on their health, but we don't know for sure yet. Researchers are abo looking into how far a lack of sleep affects young people with depression. But one study has clearly demonstrated that high-schpol students getting low grades also aet on average one hour less sleep than students getting As and Bs. Jake: Really? Why do you think teenagers aren't getting enough sleep?
Df Reid: ít's an interesting question. Ít's a problem that seems to affect all teenagers, not just the ones w ho eat the wrong things and who don't take any «xercise. So mv feelinq is that oarents need \Q tafo táng re^ponsibility. Too many teenagers watch TV in their rooms or play computer games until very late, or t they're allowed to go out on school nights. jake: Some of my friends say they stay up late because they can't get to sleep if they go to bed earlíer. pr Reid: Well, there are things you can do to make yourself feel sleepy. Your brain needs to switch off and relax so don't have any drínks that contain caffeine, t which tncludes hot chocolate and a lot of soft drínks. gradina a book you know well or listening to a story,

E rather than music, should help your brain to relax. Jake: So you shouldn't do your homework just before going to sleep? p r Reid: Definitely not! Schools should be careful how much homework they set because workíng late in the evening doesn't help people to get a good night's sleep. It would be better for schools to stay open for I longer so that pupíls can do their homework before i they get home to avoid this problem. Another thing I that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later. which seems like a • good idea to me. t
Jake: Well, that's very interesting. Thank you. Doctor Reid. Just one last question. Is it true that our brains • are actívely thinking while we're asleep? Dr Reid: Well, our brains are good at sorting information I while we are asleep. Ít's often the case that we wake up • having found the answer to a problem that we'd been I worrying about the day before. But it's ímportant to I write it down immediately as we can forget it easity. ' Jake: Great That's all the information 1 need. Thanks I very much for your help.

Kirsty: Good moming. My name's Kirsty Wíllis and l'm here to talk to you about what it's like to work in a zoo and about some other careers you may be interested in that also ¡nvolve workíng with animáis. OK.

Although there are job openings which don't require many qualrfications, for most posts there's a lot of competition so it's unlikely that you'll be considered without a degree. Zoos have
10 Spend, spend, spend? Interviews: I see. So I suppose what really makes people happy are their relatíonships with others. Professor: Yes. This is trie most ¡mportant key to happiness. And ¡t's the quality oí those relatíonships that counts. $o having one or two ctoft friends i& ¡ii!tt as benefi^ifll fnr happiness as having a wtde circle of famHy and friends. It*s «ven been suggested that fríendship can protect against illness, and that continúes throughout our Uves. Interviewer: Really? What about work? Is that important for happiness? Professor Indeed ¡t is. We've always known that people need to feel valued at work in order to be happy, and it goes without saying that people w¡ll feel happier ff they actuatfy enjoy what they're doing. But what we're discovering now is that having targets, which develpp our skills and abatíes, so that; we rpach our full potential, is essential for our happiness. Interviewer: i suppose that makes sense. So is there a magic formula for happiness? t mean, is there anythtng people can do to make themsehres happy? Professor WeH, this is something that psychologísts are trying to find out, There are action points which include thíngs líke smíling more and being helpful to other people, but there's no hard evidence yet that these things significantly ímprove happiness. What we do know, however, is that the bi'ggest barrier to happiness is epvy. So jf we can try np,l_tQ_judge ourselves against Qther people. we'd cgrtaínly be happier. Interviewer: Well, that aounds like really sound advice. Thank you very much. And if you've got any questíons for Professor Jackson...

Professor: Thank you. Interviower: Is happiness somothing that can really be measured scientificatly? Professor: Oh, very much so. It's something psychologists have been studying for decades Worldwide surveys tnvestigating political changes have given us a very clear picture of how satisfied peopie are wiih their Uves in drfferent countries, for example. And we've discovered that simply by asking peopie how happy they are, we get a measure of happiness that is as good as the economista' measure of poverty or growth. What's new is that. in the same way that economic performance is used to measure govemment success, we expect that within ten years, governments will be judged on how happy they have made us. Intervtewen That's very interesting. So individual happiness can really have an impact on soaety? Professor Yes. Some stud*es have shown tñat happy peopie uve ionger thar» depresseo peopie.

Cave dlving, offidally the world's most dangerous sport, Isn't for everyone. If you're the kind of person who enjoys belng underwater ¡n dark, enclosed spaces then it's probably the ultímate adventure sport. People often say cave diving sounds like their worst nightmare but for people like me it's a real passion. It's like the caves have a power over me. What I love about it most ¡s the amazing beauty of these caves, not to mention their incredible sÉg. It's like nowhere else. You're looking at rock formatlons that are millions of years oíd and the water is crystal clear. Another thlng I like is that l'm seeing things that no one has ever seen before; l'm like an explorer dtscovering new places. This is especially true now that I go down on my own. When I was first learning how to dhre, I went down wrth an instructor who showed me where to go so that wasn't the same. But you shouldn't go alone untii you've had tots of practice and experience. Even then it can be very dangerous but that's what some dtvers say they love about i t They enjoy the challenge. I always plan my dives as much as I can as I prefer to be in control. If I feel stressed, 1 malee mistakes. But if you know what you're doíng, then you shouldn't have a problem. I think the worst thíng that can happen is if your lights go out for some reason; it's really scary belng in total darkness. So that's why it's important to take two sets of lights wrth you, Something you need to be aware of is that you can't ímmediately escape to the surface rf you get inte díffícuitíes, v/hích meaos your survíval depends on your problem-solving abílíties. You need t o recogníse what is nappening and follov/ all the correct procedures you've been taught. Hayíng saíd all that, cave diving isn't dangerous if you follov/ a few simple rules. Most of the acódente you read about could have been avoided if these people had foOowed simple stepsto reduce the flih ínvolved. UtHially t h e / v e done something v/hích wasn't safe and they should have known better. It's abo very important to know when to 'cali a díve', or 90 back. Another big danger it getting l o * t Imagine enteríng an underwater room * n d looking back to
see there is not one, but dozens of passages. and not knowing which way leads back to the entrance The longer you spend under water, the more gas you need on your back to help you breathe. You need enough to allow you the time to get back to the entrance if something goes wrong. So it's obviously only a sport for experienced divers. Even rf you have all the right equipment, that won't help you if you don't know what you're doing so you should never attempt cave diving without adequate training. There are lots of good courses to choose from. It takes a special sort of person to become a good cave diver. You must be the kind of person who doesn't panic. if something goes wrong, and that takes a great deal of self-control However, you can team a lot about yourself from diving and I think knowing you can survive in such a demanding environment gives you greater confidence. both at work and socialry. It won't help you get a job or make friends but it will make you feel better about yourself. if you're ¡nterested in finding out more, there are a couple of great websites I can recommend ...

Q Track 05 Interview/en Today we welcome Ivor Roberts who owns a chain of restaurants and he's going to teil us what it's like for him. Ivor: Thank you. I now have six restaurants but 1 started off wíth one small one in the town where I grew up. The job of runníng the restaurants is exhausting but enjoyable at the same time because of the responsibility. That stde of ¡t can also be quite frightening at times. The restaurants are now really popular and I don't want that t o change. We get a lot of repeat business, you know, customers coming back to us again and again. I think the reason for that is that they're looking for the kind of quality that's not easy to find ín most restaurants. In fact, it's not easy for us t o achieve day in and day out but we get cióse. Looking back, the best piece of aclvice l'd give to someone starting a restaurant is that it's essential to build a strong team and that's what I did from day one. Without that the business can't succeed. We're like a family. Everyone has t o play their part. Training the cooks is a realiy important part of my ¡ob. The first thing I tell them t o d o before they try and make a dish is t o work out what the ingreclients are. That's the starting point. How can they cook something rf they can't taste what's in it? Most people learn very quickly. Another thing I focus orv is keeping my staff motivated and interested. When they've done a good job, I tell them but one thing 1 don't d o is to let them see each fantastíc review we get. I'm more interested in ftnding out what we can d o better and how we can continué to team. I don't want t o gíve the impression that I don't get it wrong sometimes because of course i do. We had one restaurant a few years ago that wasn't doing very well. H was full at the weekends but empty during the week. p eople were only booking it for a celebration of some
kind. So we made a few changes, made it more relaxed so people felt "rt was somewhere they could go every day of the week Another thing 1 am passionate about is that every customer recetves a level of service which never changes, whatever time or day of the week it is And I think commitment to detail is the way to do that. In fact, we hardly ever get any complaints and rarely about the food. But sometimes people aren't happy because they can't get a table. At one of our restaurants which is by the nver, where there are just 20 tables, we get over 5DQ calis a day for reservations. That's about 3,000 calis a week! Demand is really high and we have to make sure that people aren't disappointed when they do get a table. I do that by making sure the menú is always exciting. My favouríte part of the job will always be choosing what goes on the menú. I still get involved in that and it never gets boríng. Thafs what's so wonderfut about cookíng; it's seasonal. so the kind of thtngs we cook changes every three months or so. In summer, it's really light and fresh with lots of fish and salads and more cold food, of course. Then after that, the food starts to get richer and heavier in Septem.ber. There's more red meat and game on the menú, for example. Well, l think the only thtng teft to say is that if you haven't been to one of my restaurants, 1 do hope you'H come and see for yourself.

Ryt I dnn't anv more because. I fgund mv pal"» wwo't developinq. Anyway, there's nothing like the thrill of playing face to face. It's more exciting and more challenging. Interviewer: Has watching the grandmasters play helped to develop your game? Toby: Oh, definitely. Veselin Topalov is my favourite player of all time. He's an aggressive player and risks everything to win. and he doesn't mind sacrificing pieces if he has to. Sometimes t think he's going to lose and then l'm really surprised when he wins. Interviewer: So what's the secret of your success? How do you decide which moves to rnake? Toby: When making a move, I normally go on intuition. I'N look at the position and say, 'Which move |oole.^ comfortable to me?' After that, I choose about three moves and analyse them. I play some variations in my head. What would the position be after three moves w «ve moves? I loóle«the plans of the opponent to see if I have to do something against them or n o t There is no bestway to play a position. It depends on the player. But most of the time, it's just a question of taow.novjíwnto rnake an aggressive move and «hen t o p h y » defenswe move. It comes with experience

I think chess can teach you a lot of things. %>¡. l g a m j i a w j 0 _ r e 3 d a person bv analysing t h e j s a v j h ^ p|ay_£bsss. You find out what kind of person they are; whether they're creative or analytical. For example, ' some people's body language also helps you to see if they are confident or worried but the best players are very controlled. Interviewer: Some people say that a game of chess is like the game of Irfe. Do you agree with that? Toby: No, I don't think chess is like life. I mean in some ways I suppose you could say it's similar. Many people set themselves targets and plan ahead for the future, for example. But in my mind, it's really importantto sepárate chess and life because in che??, ypu can plan .

Woman: H¡, Janey.
